Field Frenzy, Youth Clinic Dates Changed

4/13/2011 12:00:00 AM | Football

Predicted inclement weather for the end of this week has caused a change to two Gopher Football-related events. The student event Field Frenzy, which was originally scheduled for Friday evening, and the Gopher Football Youth Clinic, which had been slated for Saturday, will both be postponed.

The Field Frenzy event for students will now be held Thursday, April 21 at TCF Bank Stadium. The event will be held in conjunction with the Gophers' final spring practice session before the Spring Game. The first 500 students in attendance will receive a free stadium blanket, drinks and pizza. All students in attendance will have the opportunity to hear head coach Jerry Kill address them after the Gophers' workout.

Field Frenzy is scheduled for 3-5 p.m. on April 21. Students may enter TCF Bank Stadium through Gate C. There is no charge associated with this event.

The Gopher Football Youth Clinic will now be held on Friday, April 22 at TCF Bank Stadium. The event is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m., with registration running through 6:30. From 6:30-7:30 p.m., kids will be taking part in skills and drills with Gopher football players. An autograph session for all kids in attendance will be held from 7:30-8 p.m.

This event is free for boys and girls, ages 7-13. Entrance to TCF Bank Stadium for this event will be at the Lake of the Woods County sign.

Pre-registration for this event is encouraged. Pre-register by visiting www.mygophersports.com or by calling the Gopher Athletics Ticket Office at 612.624.8080, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Kids are encouraged to wear comfortable clothes for this active event.
